Building The Circular Economy: Finance Leadership In The Sustainable Fashion Revolution

Chief Business Officer at Circ, Luke Henning, discusses how he manages the production of sustainable textiles, keeps track of sustainability data, and raises critical financing.

Henning explains that the lack of green innovation costs society a lot; the expense is simply hidden. The only way to achieve true shifts in sustainability is to make the transition as painless as possible or to force it with regulation and level the playing field, which is coming.

This summer, Circ announced over $30 million in funding from leading global apparel companies and venture capital firms, including Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Henning emphasises the importance of looking for investments in viable technologies that match a long-term macro thesis and then finding the best team executing in that space.
